The concept of agricultural land is one that is used in the field of productivity to refer to a certain type of soil that is suitable for all types of crops and plantations, that is, for agricultural activity or agriculture. The agricultural soil must first be a fertile soil that allows the growth and development of different types of crops that are then harvested and used by man, for which it must also be suitable for its components for humans.
When we talk about agricultural soil we are talking about a special type of soil that must have certain elements that make it suitable soil for the growth of crops. In addition to being a fertile soil, with an important composition of humus (or the organic section of the soil), the agricultural soil must have main nutrients such as nitrates, ammonium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfate, magnesium, calcium, sodium, chloride and others such as iron, copper, manganese, although the latter to a lesser extent. All these nutrients can be reinforced and added artificially through fertilizers that are applied in the areas that need it most. It is important that the fertilizers used are not harmful or toxic because then these toxins will then go to the cultivated food.
Other elements that must also be controlled to consider a soil as a suitable soil for agriculture are, for example, the pH of the soil, its texture and its energy conductivity. These three, in normal parameters, will help those crops grow more effectively and are of better quality, being able to be consumed by human beings without any problem and becoming products of high durability and resistance to possible inclement weather or weather conditions. other external factors.
